The woman’s twitter account of tweets sent and received is a mixture of hate and hysteria. For example: Someone has taken words written by Andrew Marr calling for tougher action to be taken against killers, such as those who murdered Stephen Lawrence purely on account of the victim’s colour, and edited it in a way to suggest that Marr wants all white people to be repressed by the State.

The boxer dog appears to be brown as well…. but as for the John Lewis ad. My cat loves it and sits inches from the screen trying to bat the squirrel when it has a go on the trampoline . Merry Christmas and Political scrapbook let us have some real stories….lots around.

@Julian Bray I am concerned about the actions of your cat. I suspect it may be a white one, possibly a Britan First supporter. The squirrel in the ad appears to be a grey one – you know, one of the immigrant squirrels.. As far as I am concerned, they are welcome here and make a real contribution to life in our garden. Sort your cat out please.
